Forbes • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Beef season 2 debuted at #10 on Netflix’s top 10 list with 2.4 million views, marking a 60% drop compared to season 1’s 5.8 million views in its first week.
- The show eventually climbed to the #1 spot after a few days, suggesting growing viewer awareness despite a slow start.
- Critic and audience scores declined from season 1 to season 2, with Rotten Tomatoes ratings dropping from 98% to 86% among critics and from 87% to 61% among audiences.
- While the second season features strong performances from stars like Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan, it faces tougher competition as it is no longer a limited series.
- Despite the drop in viewership and ratings, the series remains recommended for its intense, sometimes humorous storytelling and quality acting, though a third season seems unlikely at this point.
